Day three: Life.
Continued from Day two: The shell.
The warmth of the egg startled him at first. He never expected, in this cold, for the egg to be as warm as it was. Putting his hand back on the egg he tried to gauge the temperature of this massive, greenish egg that had suddenly appeared in his backyard. [...]
Day two: The shell
Continued from Day one: Discovery.
NaNoDrawMo – Day two: The Shell.
The appearance of the object was such that it was almost undeniably an egg. The shape, the texture, the way it sat upright on its bulging bottom in amongst some well-placed blades of grass made it quite obvious.
Wait. Well placed? What placed this egg here? Whatever [...]
Day one: Discovery
NaNoDrawMo – Day one: Discovery.
Ted Arnold, a farmer from New England, notices what appears to be an egg just outside of his barn. Cautiously he approaches the object wondering where it may have come from.
As he stares at it for a few minutes from about 10 feet away he remembers a distant memory from when [...]
NaNoDrawMo?
I’m thinking of participating in NaNoDrawMo an art initiative that takes place through the month of November. The inspiration comes from Steven Frank (whom I interviewed a few months ago) and he was inspired by NaNoWriMo the month-long annual writing initiative that happens every November.
It seems like a big challenge. 50 works of art in [...]
Our 10th Anniversary party invitations
For our 10th anniversary, which was on the 27th of August, we received an incredible gift from Eliza’s mother Carla – an anniversary party in our favor. Since she told us many months in advance that she was going to throw us this party we were able to help with some of the planning and, [...]
Blackeyed Susan on Odosketch
Decided to try my hand at the aforelinked Odosketch. Taking inspiration from the Black-eyed Susans I drew this. Pretty neat to see it played back.
Odosketch
I played around with Odosketch for a few minutes and at first glance – it is one of the better ‘in-browser’ sketching tools out there. I look forward to working with it in the future. Via David Kaneda.

Concept art sketches of Carl from Pixar’s Up
Although the sketches only tell part of the story I really like to see this sort of process where the artist slowly brings the character to life. Each sketch is a character onto itself but finding Carl through all of these is the challenge/reward.
I think my favorite tweak from the first Carl drawn to the [...]
A bookmark for Eliza
In the same vein as the Thank You card I made for my brother and his family comes this – a bookmark that I made back in January for Eliza.
Since I’m just now getting the chance to post about this bookmark I thought I’d take some time to share the process I went through to [...]
Drawing demo by Lynne Margulies
While browsing through some of Viddler’s archives today I ran across this drawing demo by Lynne Margulies (lynnemargulies on Viddler). It is in three parts (maybe Lynne isn’t aware of Viddler’s 500Mb per-video limit). What I enjoyed most about these videos was the angle, the not-overly-produced presentation, and my ability to watch it over, pause [...]
Minas Tirith made of matchsticks
As I’m finishing my re-reading of The Two Towers, and will be revisiting this grand city made in the side of a mountain in a few pages, I can’t help but link to a complete replica of Minas Tirith made of matchsticks. Via Boing Boing.

Random 60: Doing what you love, not what you’re good at. | Favorite on Viddler.
Please consider sharing this on Twitter. Thanks.
I often find myself doing things that I really like to do, even if I’m not particularly good at them. Art, for me, is a great example. I like dabbling with watercolors, pastels, pencil sketches, [...]
Finding style
I'm trying to find my own style.

An excellent comic found through SuggestRSS.
A Thank You card with meaning
A little bit of the thought behind a Thank You card I made for my brother and his family.

Eric Fortune’s painting process
Eric Fortune goes over his painting process from sketch to final piece. I love stuff like this.
Brushes. Inventoried and repaired.
